case study 3 electric safety
Introduction
Assalamualaikum & have a nice day everyone. Today we are given the new task for Chapter 7. This group discussion consist of 3 members, Imuhammad nur safuan bin sahdan ,muhammad mustaqim bin kamarzaman,and muhammad fairuz bin mohamad mashudi.
WHAT IS ELECTRICITY?
Electricity is electrical energy or electrical power when its generated , supplied , or utilized .
DEFECTIVE INSULATION HAZARD :
⇨IMPROPER GROUNDING HAZARD
- Grounding is the process used to eliminate unwanted voltage.
- A ground is a physical electrical connection to the earth
- Electrical equipment must be properly grounded.
- Grounding reduces the risk of being shocked or electrocuted.
- The ground pin safely returns leakage current to ground.
- Never remove the ground pin.
- Removing the ground pin removes an important safety feature.
- You can get shocked!
⇨ OVERLOAD HAZARD
- Overloaded circuits can cause fires.
- Use proper circuit breakers
- Never overload an outlet.
- Do not use power strips or surge protectors on construction sites.
- Use a 3-way extension with a GFCI instead.
WET CONDITION HAZARD
- Wet conditions are hazardous.
- Damaged insulation increases the hazard.
- Always avoid using tools in wet locations.
- Water increases the risk of electric shock.
- PREVENTING MEASURES IN ELECTRICAL SAFETY
- PROTECTION FROM DIRECT CONTACT
which is electrical shock on touching directly a live conductor or cable
- PROTECTION FROM INDIRECT CONTACT
which is occurs due to contact with a part which is connected to the electrical instalation , possibly due to damages in the appliance or insulation , resulting in leakages of current .
SAVE WORKING ENVIRONMENTLOCK OUT AND TAG OUT- All electrical source
- Place on each disconnecting means used to de-energize circuits
- Attach lock to prevent operating
- Place tag with each lock
- OVERLOAD WIRING BY USING THE RIGHT SIZE AND TYPE OF WIRE
- Max.Ampere rating vs size for copper conductor
- value are not more than 3 conductor in raceway or cable
WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF ALL ABOVE IS NOT CONTROL?
- The number of injuries among electrical workers will be increase
There will be no more electrical workers because they to afraid that they will die.- It will been traumatized for the victims
- Half of their body will been burn and died.
- They also will lose some of their sensation.
Conclusion•Adequate electrical safety in health-care facilities and systems can be achieved at moderate costs by combining:1.Good power-distribution system2.Well designed equipment3.Periodic maintenance and testing of power systems and equipment4.Modest training program for medical personnelREFERENCE - https://www.osha.gov/Publications/electrical_safety.html

10 Feb 2017- 5.0 Occupational First Aid
First aid is the assistance given to any person suffering a sudden illness or injury,[1]with care provided to preserve life, prevent the condition from worsening, and/or promote recovery. It includes initial intervention in a serious condition prior to professional medical help being available, such as performing CPR while awaiting an ambulance, as well as the complete treatment of minor conditions, such as applying a plaster to a cut. First aid is generally performed by the layperson, with many people trained in providing basic levels of first aid, and others willing to do so from acquired knowledge. Mental health first aid is an extension of the concept of first aid to cover mental health.
There are many situations which may require first aid, and many countries have legislation, regulation, or guidance which specifies a minimum level of first aid provision in certain circumstances. This can include specific training or equipment to be available in the workplace (such as an Automated External Defibrillator), the provision of specialist first aid cover at public gatherings, or mandatory first aid training within schools. First aid, however, does not necessarily require any particular equipment or prior knowledge, and can involve improvisation with materials available at the time, often by untrained persons.[2]
First aid can be performed on all mammals, although this article relates to the care of human patients.

Emergency Preparedness and Response
Emergencies can create a variety of hazards for workers in the impacted area. Preparing before an emergency incident plays a vital role in ensuring that employers and workers have the necessary equipment, know where to go, and know how to keep themselves safe when an emergency occurs. These Emergency Preparedness and Response pages provide information on how to prepare and train for emergencies and the hazards to be aware of when an emergency occurs. The pages provide information for employers and workers across industries, and for workers who will be responding to the emergency.
Fire safety is the set of practices intended to reduce the destruction caused by fire.Fire safety measures include those that are intended to prevent ignition of an uncontrolled fire, and those that are used to limit the development and effects of afire after it starts.
